    I’ve worn the watch for a couple of months now and it was a great choice over the Apple Watch. It’s definitely accurate. I wish they had more feminine bands.

    Perfect for runners, I highly suggest this watch to new/beginner and elite runners. It has everything you need and if youre swapping from a Apple Watch dont hesitate! One thing is that the charger cord broke like two weeks later.

    The battery charges super fast. It measures sleep quality, recovery time after exercise, necessary water intake, and extreme cardiac damage based on intensity. Excellent cost-benefit ratio.

    Greta watch, tons of useful features and battery life is close to specs on duration between charges. I use it for my norning alarm daily and I'm sure this probably drains it faster but im ok with that.
